One
year
today,
Mama
Your
spirit
still
walks
with
us
Hajiya
Salamatu,
we
remember
you
Rest
in
peace,
our
queen
October 12
th,
the
date
is
here
again
Fifty-two
years
of
grace,
a
life
of
light
But
now
the
silence
is
heavy
in
the
room
Your
seat
is
empty,
darkness
in
the
bright
One
year
has
passed
since
you
traveled
on
Left
us
to
walk
this
path
without
your
hand
But
in
our
hearts,
your
memory
stays
strong
Still
the
finest
mother
in
all
the
land
Hajiya
Salamatu,
we
miss
you
so
Your
love
was
a
gift
we
will
always
know
Though
tears
fall
down
like
rain
upon
the
ground
In
heaven's
garden,
sweet
peace
you
have
found
Oh
Mama,
rest
well,
your
legacy
remains
Your
love
is
the
shelter
that
breaks
all
our
chains
You
gave
us
everything,
you
held
us
tight
Even
when
we
weren't
your
own,
you
showed
the
way
You
taught
us
kindness
in
the
dead
of
night
And
chased
the
heavy
clouds
of
doubt
away
I'll
keep
the
flame
alive,
I'll
do
my
best
To
carry
on
the
things
you
started
here
In
every
good
deed,
you
find
your
rest
As
long
as
I
am
breathing,
you
are
near
Hajiya
Salamatu,
we
miss
you
so
Your
love
was
a
gift
we
will
always
know
Though
tears
fall
down
like
rain
upon
the
ground
In
heaven's
garden,
sweet
peace
you
have
found
Oh
Mama,
rest
well,
your
legacy
remains
Your
love
is
the
shelter
that
breaks
all
our
chains
Can
never
be
replaced,
no,
not
at
all
Your
wisdom
was
the
pillar
and
the
wall
We
mourn
you
now
with
heads
bowed
down
in
prayer
But
feel
your
spirit
floating
in
the
air
Rest
well,
Hajiya
Sleep
easy,
Mama
of
all
mothers
We
will
never
forget,
no
we
won't
You're
in
a
better
place
now
Until
we
meet
again,
rest
in
peace (
